Summary: | In the present study, there was assessment of the damage to tissue caused by partial laparoscopic ovariectomy using bipolar forceps in sheep. Fragments of ovaries of six sheep were removed using bipolar forceps by making a transverse section in the middle third of the organ via three-portals that were made using laparoscopy. The fragments were subjected to standard histological examinations and the lesions attributed to the procedure were investigated using an optical microscope and Image J software. The results were assessed using an analysis of variance and the Tukey test. All the laminae had minimal tissue damage. The mean amount of highly damaged tissue was 1.8%, and of partially damaged tissue was 5.6%. The mean total area of healthy tissue in the fragments was 94.4%. The results of the study indicate this procedure can be conducted withvery little tissue damage occurring. The use of this procedure, therefore, can be incorporated in future reproductive studies without altering the functions of the in situ ovarian tissues. |
